I throw them at my wife and she brings them back clean

Inside-out or rightside-out doesn't really matter, as long as the socks aren't rolled up.
I personally wash with cold-water, cold-water-compatible HE detergent.

Do people actually do more to their clothes than toss them in the washing machine or am I just a lazy person ??? (Sensitive/dry-clean only clothes aside)

I wasn't aware there was a "right" way, they just go into the laundry however and with everything else in one batch.

When I say 'right-side out' I mean tossing them into the washer with the side facing out that's normally the side facing out when you wear them.
@HeK: I also wash everything on Cold in an HE washer with Cold HE-compatible detergent. Mine's also fragrance-free, stupid allergies make me itch half the time otherwise.

I throw them with the white shirts and make Tide or Ariel do their magic

i usually pull my socks off of my feet so that they're right-side out in case i want to put them on again later, but i'll put them in the washing machine however they come off.
why wash everything cold? (i just wash things like my mom told me how to wash them)

Part of it is for energy saving; it's cheaper to wash with cold rather than heated water. Hot water sometimes doesn't play nice with some fabrics either.
But there's a better reason, at least for not washing "hot". Most laundry detergents use biological enzymes (proteases, lipases, amylases), which denature at high temperatures. Now, they are more active right around 37-40C, so if your warm cycle does that, maybe that's your best bet.
